The expectation of speed in building construction today means deadlines are a constant challenge for installers. Add to that changes in project scope, unexpected delays or difficulty obtaining materials, and the contractors’ jobs become even more difficult.
In the case of science and tech company EMD Performance Materials’—part of Philadelphia’s Navy Yard business campus—a tighter-than-usual project timeline placed high installation demands on the construction team. Fortunately, a change in specification brought on a ceiling product with out-of-the-box hardware and templates that helped installers use methods to keep the project on pace rather than miss deadlines.
